Extended support for MDOP ends on April 14, 2026. For more information, see Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) support extended.

Documentation for previous versions of MDOP is available with the Windows previous versions documentation.

The articles in this section provide information and instructions to help you administer App-V and its components. This information is for system administrators who manage large installations with many servers and clients, and for support personnel who interact directly with the computers or users.

We recommend looking at Azure Virtual Desktop with MSIX app attach. For more information, see What is Azure Virtual Desktop? and Add and manage app attach and MSIX app attach applications in Azure Virtual Desktop.
